Kelly Pool - type of pocket billiard game played on a standard pool table, what is billiards with fifteen numbered markers which player select from. Breaks of 100 points or more are referred to as a century break, and are recorded over the career of a professional player. During a turn, each of the other three balls may only be croqueted once between hoop points, but by stringing together a series of roquets, croquets, and scored hoops, several points may be scored in a single turn. In addition to the basic ball potting points, players can also earn bonus points. You can usually sweep up inexpensive brooms at the grocery or even dollar store. Even though it seems the billiard room scene was not ultimately shot at the Lanesborough, the film itself even seems to present a connection between not only the Nathanson apartment and the billiard room, but the Lanesborough. This allows the game to present many different characters but use the same models again and again. The room is not the same room and the doors are not the same doors, but the interior woodwork is exactly the same in both the Nathanson apartment and the pool room. The interior hall which leads to the pool room was shot at Luton Hoo Hotel.

Cut to shot 500 which shows the interior of the pool room and Victor crossing to receive Bill at the door. This leads me to think that Kubrick didn't like what was shot during those 10 days at the Royal Suite, that a set was built for the billiards room, and that woodwork from that set was also used for the Nathanson apartment. People with all sorts of table billiards experience from everywhere in the world believe that they have the real pool secrets of winning. While the physical exertion involved in billiards may not be as extreme as in football or basketball, there is undoubtedly a level of physicality that affects both your opponent’s and your odds of winning. The World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA), the governing body of pool which has continental and national affiliates around the world, promulgates standardized rules as Pool Billiards - The Rules of Play. 7th Edition, World Croquet Federation.

Association, United States Croquet. IMDB has the lore this pool room scene took three weeks to shoot, but the 1998 Guardian article states that the Royal Suite was booked for 10 days. The Royal Suite of the Lanesborough reputedly has floor to ceiling windows facing Buckingham Gardens. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This can't be so as the Royal Suite was said to have been booked only 10 days and we have a number of scenes in Alice and Bill's bedroom: the long conversation with Alice and Bill in the bedroom when they're high; the dressing room scenes; the scene after the initial party at Victor's; the long scene when Bill comes home from the "orgy"; the scene when he returns home from this last discussion with Victor. I've never seen the location of the Nathanson shoot discussed, and if people have been able to pinpoint the billiard room scene as being the Royal Suite at the Lanesborough, I'm assuming that if the Nathanson shoot was there as well then this would also be known. As noted above, I've repeatedly read that the billiards scene was filmed in the Royal Suite of the Lanesborough Hotel (once a hospital) in London, the Royal Suite being so exclusive that it's located in a secret location in the hotel that isn't even known but to a few of the hotel's employees.

What is the best engine/way to go with when implementing a 2D billiards game? Note: Spooky Tic-Tac-Toe game by Cindy Groom Harry.

By some accounts, the Google campus is what you'd get if you combined a typical high-tech Internet company's headquarters with an intellectual think tank and a heaping helping of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Get out your video camera. And, besides, the Lanesborough does not, as far as I can tell, appear to have a corner room that faces out on two close set neighboring buildings from which such windows could be viewed as observed in the shots from the pool room. Until the revealing of Victor's pool room, the Nathanson household had stood out as being curiously unconnected to other locations in the film. Victor's mansion's exterior is the Polish Consulate at East 37th Street and Madison Avenue in New York. When Bill is on his way to the Nathanson's in the cab we see FIRE LANE on the street in such a way that LANE is the word that makes a most lasting impression in the shot.
